Abstract

The interaction of a high-power laser beam with water droplets is an important topic in the study of atmospheric propagation. We report an investigation of the interaction of a high-power CO2 laser with a single water droplet of controllable size. A very interesting enhancement of the transmission was observed before the onset of plasma formation. In addition, a temporal modulation of the laser pulse was also detected without measurable spatial deformation.
